Frequently Asked Questions
What size water pump do I need for my home?
The right pump size depends on your water source, usage needs, and how far the water needs to travel. A household running on rainwater might need a different flow rate and pressure than one using a pump for irrigation or pool circulation. It’s important to factor in head height (the vertical distance the water travels), pipe size, and number of outlets being supplied. If a pump is undersized, it may struggle to maintain pressure; if it is oversized, it may waste energy. A licensed installer can assess your system and recommend the correct size to suit your needs.
Can I install a water pump myself?
Some basic water pumps can be installed by a capable homeowner, but most require licensed installation—especially when electrical connections are involved. Improper installation can lead to pressure problems, leaks, or pump burnout. In some cases, incorrect wiring can void manufacturer warranties or breach local regulations. It’s best to have a licensed technician handle the install, particularly if your pump is servicing household water or multiple outlets. Professional installation also ensures the system is primed correctly and pressure-tested before use.
Do I need a pressure tank with my pump system?
A pressure tank can improve pump efficiency by reducing how often the pump needs to switch on and off. This helps maintain consistent pressure and extends the life of the pump. While not always essential, they are particularly useful in larger systems or those with fluctuating demand. If you’re using your pump for household water supply, irrigation, or multiple fixtures, a pressure tank may help reduce wear and cut down on energy use. A technician can help determine if it’s necessary for your setup.
